First, Fury pulled out of their original date in December 2021 with injury and illness.

And then the Manchester fighter had visa issues while trying to get over the US to promote their second fight, with that bout being called off too.

However, Tommy Fury is 8-0 going into this fight.

And the Fury family are so confident of a victory for Tommy that brother Tyson has told him he can “stay in Saudi Arabia” if he loses.

The heavyweight champ told talkSPORT: “They are finally getting it on and are going to throw down.

“The two YouTube people get to battle it out for the king of the YouTubers.

“It’s going to be fun, and I expect Tommy to chin him. If he doesn’t he can stay in Saudi Arabia.”

Paul fought Anderson Silva instead of Fury last time, beating the MMA star on points to rack up his sixth win as a professional boxer.

But this is the YouTube legend’s first fight against a full fledged boxer.

And the WBC have confirmed that there is an official ranking on offer if Paul can win this one.

What they said

Jake Paul: “Tommy, I hope you’ve enjoyed these last few moments of your career.

“This is it. You’re going to be retired from boxing after this, you’re going to be disowned by your family, you’re going to go back to your mother’s maiden name.

“There’s nothing else that can save you. It is just me and you. Mano a mano [Hand and hand].

“You’re brother’s not in the ring with you, your dad’s not in the ring with you anymore, Molly’s not in the ring with you anymore, Bambi isn’t in the ring with you anymore.

“So all of that cute motivation about having a child and fighting for her, all of that s*** goes out of the window.

“I’m coming to take your f***ing head off, decapitate you.

“I’m a mean, angry person deep down and I’m going to take it all out on your f***ing face.

“There is nothing you could do to f***ing beat me.”

Tommy Fury: “Jake doesn’t know what’s coming to him. If he’s been studying my past fights, it’s going to be completely different on the night.

“Boxing is about skill and class and this man doesn’t have any of it and I have a lot of it, and I’m going to bring him to school on Sunday.

“I’m ready to deal with this man.

“This is a public service announcement going out for everybody, this man won’t box again.

“This will be the last time you see Jake Paul in the ring against a true professional anyway.

“I’m going to show him things that he’s never seen before.”

Big fight prediction

This fight will come down to experience, and while neither fighter has much of it, Tommy has more.

The Fighting Fury has been boxing since he was 14 or 15 years old and has the basic fundamentals that should carry him through here.

Paul has come on leaps and bounds since his debut in 2019, but it’s going to be difficult for him to really impose himself against someone with a stiff jab and a long reach.

If Fury gets going early and makes the middle of the ring his, hard jabs should keep Paul honest until the 23-year-old is ready to land something big.

Fury has to be careful of Paul’s big overhand right, the one that knocked out Tyron Woodley.

But as long as he avoids that, Fury wins this one with relative ease. Forget all the bluster.

Prediction: Fury BEATS Paul via Round 3 TKO

“Jake Paul’s boxing career ends on February 26th and I can finally move on with mine,” Fury said.

“Every time I go out right now, everybody asks me about the Jake Paul fight. After this fight is done, everybody will be asking me how it felt to knock Jake Paul out.
